BJP poster in Jammu & Kashmir polls goes viral on social media: "Colours" lotus in white, BJP in green

By A Representative
Social media is agog with a BJP poster in which the party's symbol, lotus, is in white and name of the party has been written in green. Says Himanshu Trivedi, who first put the poster on the Facebook, "Proof of the pudding is in its eating -- see the poster with white lotus, BJP written in green ... these people can sell 'whatever' to garner votes under false pretext." Points out Vistasp Hodiwala,"The party symbol goes from saffron to white. The name stands out on a glorious green background. This ingenuous customisation of the party is ostensibly to win the elections in J&K." And observes Sanjeev Bhatt, suspended from services by Gujarat government by refusing to favour Narendra Modi's line on 2002 Gujarat riots: "Truly, have these guys decided at all on the upper limit for political shamelessness? Is there any code they abide by? For I see no evidence of this in their breathless shenanigans every single day."

Between command and thought: Creative resistance of Kunwar Narayan's Khusro

By Ravi Ranjan* In my exploration of modern Hindi literature, Kunwar Narayan’s poem ‘Amir Khusro’ continually draws me into a profound meditation on history, memory, and the enigma of cultural identity. Narayan, a poet of deep philosophical inquiry, does not merely recreate a medieval historical figure; he constructs a complex dialogue between the individual and the age, between social roles conferred by authority and the identity achieved through creative consciousness.
